Care:
A clean and well maintained set of nippers is a happy nipper! NINESTEPS recommends periodically lubing the nipper pivot with a light oil to maintain optimal operation. Clean the side cutter with some light oil and a clean rag. Leave a thin film behind to help prevent corrosion.
Caution:
To avoid blade damage, do not use excessive cutting or clamping force. Over compressing the blades will cause the blades to blunt prematurely and could cause them to break. Such damage is not covered under warranty.
